You and Me and BPD is hosted by Stef, a person living with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as being on the Autism spectrum. If you have BPD, are interested in hearing some experiences of what it is like to live with this disorder, or if you love someone with BPD then you might learn something by listening to these episodes. I am one person and these are my experiences, but if they relate to you feel free to suggest episode ideas or reach out on my Instagram @journey.bound.
This will be the last episode of this podcast until the Spring.
I hope that I will find the time and energy to continue making episodes in the new year but for now, I am so so sooooo thankful to be given the space to share my experiences and talk so openly about the topic of mental health. This podcast was started all the way back in 2020 and I can't believe that it has grown into the thing it is today.
There are a lot of things in my life that require my attention right now but if you listen to this episode, please head over to my instagram @journey.bound and say hi on the pinned post. I would love to see who is listening to this and what you think :).
Sending my kindness and love to you in all forms. You are never alone in any struggle.

Navigating Negative Self Talk
In todays episode, I attempt to explain some of the ways that Negative Self Talk appears in our life and how we can find more space to combat the things we think. For many of us living with mental health conditions, our inner critic is ever present; always looking over our shoulders, just waiting to remind us of our flaws or insecurities. Without time and patience, it can be hard to know what triggers our Negative Self Talk and how these persistent ideas break us down and make us believe we don't deserve happiness. I hope this episode helps you to know you are not alone in your struggles and I am always available if you need to vent or be reminded of how strong you are. Feel free to reach out on my instagram @journey.bound if you want to share any episode ideas or just need a safe space to talk.

Conceptualizing Disability In Everyday Life
In this episode, I talk about why I choose to identify as a disabled person and how my disabilities affect my everyday life. July is Disability Pride Month, a time for disabled individuals to speak only about how they are thriving (or surviving) in a world where they have historically been treated as less than. In my personal experience, living with both BPD and Autism, as well as my chronic pain condition, is disabling. My life is made up of accommodations I have put in place that help me to not feel as overwhelmed as I am and I am not afraid to embrace the identity of being disabled because that's the reality I live in. Some people might not agree that autism or BPD can be disabling but I hope that this episode serves as a reminder that many disabilities are hidden; many times, we have been forced to push ourselves so hard to fit into the world that we can't even begin to understand what accommodations we need or how we are struggling. It doesn't have to be this way. Thank you so much for listening to my words and giving me the space to process my thoughts. Sending you all my love 💕 if you want to talk further, feel free to message me on my Instagram @journeh.bound
